Detroit Institute of Arts

Don't even think about going to the other one.

The Brakeman

This is for the Beer Lovers. The Brakeman is a beer hall with a unique twist. All beers are exchanged for poker chips purchased at the door. Make sure to stop by Penny Reds next door for fried chicken and honey butter biscuits if you get hungry.

An Australian style coffee shop in an unlikely place. Protip - ask nicely and they'll add a little something extra to your cup to brighten your "spirits." Jenna's recommendation: Lavender Latte Grant's recommendation: House Made Peppermint Mocha
